A good book to read in just a sitting or two. I have so little time to read these days that I find books like [Limboland] exceptional--rarely do I afford the effort. {Goodison] proved this reading effortless. ( )

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Somehow it got lost in my email and my review is delayed so my apologies to the author. I really enjoyed this story. Such a fascinating concept. I couldn't put it down and had to talk through it with my husband when I finished reading it. I'm most definitely going to read others by her. Highly recommend if you want something a little different that will make you think. ( )

Limboland is an interesting medical thriller about 2 girls and the unique connection they have. After Chelsa is hit by a car, she basically becomes a vegetable and her parents decide to turn off the life support. After the machines are turned off, Chelsa keeps living, and her father dedicates his life to finding a way to wake Chelsa up. Little Sienna starts having fainting spells, and no one can explain why. Her parents don't understand and doctors cannot find anything medically wrong with her. Enter Rand Morrissey, a psychiatrist with his own issues. He normally doesn't work with children, but agrees to see Sienna.At first his sessions with her bring more questions than answers, but then Rand does some research and discovers a connection between Chelsa and Sienna. He believes he's found a way to help both girls, but it sounds completely crazy. How will he convince their parents to let him try his theory before it's too late?

The more I read this book, the more into it I got. There were some interesting themes in it that I wouldn't expect to find in a medical thriller, and the characters are written very well. Although it is the 2nd book in the St. Augustus Chronicles, it works as a stand alone.

This book. Man, this book.
I started out not liking this book much at all. No, I actually almost quit reading altogether close to the beginning because nothing seemed to be clicking. The only reason that I didn't was because I felt obliged to review this book.

And good thing that I did.
The more I read this book, the more I seemed to like it. It's strange, because none of the individual aspects stand out to me much, the characters are all nice, although not breathtaking. There is one particular character that I honestly can't stand and that deserved everything. Spoilers!
The setting or the writing style also didn't stand out to me with all of the other books I read this month, but still, something about this book intrigued me. I really, really liked this book. I don't know why.

I don't think I'll be picking it up for a re-read anytime soon, but still, for what it is and what it was trying to do, I enjoyed my time with this book. ( )

This book is so amazing, and really makes you think about what happens after death. I love books like this and couldn't put it down once I started. ( )
